How it works:
- Milk is available for order Monday to Friday
- Parents place orders and pay for milk and lunches on Lunchbox.
- Lunchbox sends the weekly milk order to your milk vendor.
- The vendor delivers the milk to the school one week before the scheduled hand-out week.
- Lunchbox sends weekly delivery reports Monday morning to the school contact(s) and milk coordinator. The delivery reports are organized by delivery day and classroom for easy distribution to students.
- Milk is given to students daily. If a student is absent, it will be provided to them the next school day.
- Lunchbox pays the vendor weekly on behalf of the school.
